….and the RS team at that time had, Hanson, Souness, Doglead and maybe a few more.
Steve Nichol, Ray Houghton (I know he played for RoI, but only because when he had to choose he thought he’d never be good enough to play for Scotland)
 
….times change, Dave. I’m sure we both remember the influence Scottish footballers also had.
Oh aye. Loads of Scots. Probably more Scots than other nations...and that was when they were decent too.

Scots
Irish
Welsh

in that order, I think we've had in terms of non-English players.
 
I saw a few games Lyon played when they were at the bottom of the league around November and he looked like a walking mistake tbh, think he gave away a few penalties and odd own goal so not much different from Keane. Lyon improved massively when they signed Matic in January window and think O'Brien lost his place.

However he is still young and I assume the plan is to ease him in off the bench and in cup ties. Ultimately Tarks played every single game last year and think Branthy only missed one match after he broke in against Wolves so basically the season rests on those two playing as much as is realistic.

Then in a years time O'Brien will hopefully have featured more and be ready to step in if Branthwaite isn't renewing.
Looking at his stats he got into the team in October after being on the bench at the start of last season. Played every minute till the end of season apart from missing one game through suspension so didn’t lose his place
 


I'd be concerned if he was coming to start for you guys. He was a good player at Palace but I dont think anyone thought he was cut out for the prem. He is not fast.

May have improved massively at Lyon though. I've not seen him play since he left and had plenty of big clubs after him.

According to Wiki, he didnt play a single game for you, is that incorrect?
